What secondary role compliments a jungler main?

ofart··1 votes·1,540 views

I usually play jungler but I'm having a hard time picking a secondary role. I probably don't want to ADC or Support (although I'd rather Support than ADC) so that leaves Mid or Top. My guess is that Top is more similar to Jungle than Mid but I'm curious what others think. Which role has the most overlap with jungling skills?

Who do you play in the jungle usualy?

Nocturne, Zac, Fiddlesticks, Jax, Amumu, Volibear, Kench, Nunu, Aatrox and the random Karthus or Kog. I've also played a lot of Gragas and Sejuani in the past. Nocturne is probably my main jungler but there are some team comps. where he's just garbage and Amumu is often my secondary due to the reliability. Zac and Fiddlesticks aren't far behind.

Aatroz, Zac, Volibear anf Tahm kench can be played top quite well. If you want to play these champions, go for top! If you want to keep the whole roam/gank mechanic than you might want to learn how to play a mobile mid laner like Ahri Zed Ekko

Some of those champions also work in top lane along with a bunch of champions that have kinda similar play styles (diving fighters and tanks)

There are also melee supports that play kinda similar (Kench, obviously, but also Leona) and I think Support has kindof a similar philosophy where you think a lot in the early game about how to tag team the enemy to feed your team kills.

I juggle between support and top secondary. I've been going top more recently though since I had a run of absolutely terrible games on support.

Pros for top: you use the same or similar champs (AD bruisers). Cons for top: you have to know alot more about matchups and alot less about objectives and macro.

Pros for support: you use the same type of objective based gameplay and macro strategy. Cons for support: very different mechanics, especially for mage supports.

You might want to reconsider support. Your roaming habits as a jungler and (hopeful) teamwork abilities will come in handy.

Although top lane is also a good role to choose. Mid is more "carry" and top is more useful when a team player is in it.

Support is like the same thing as Jungler except you're not dead all the time
